File Security

Hi Friends,
I want a script written in unix shell scripting to be secure for reading its contents by others. How can I do it ?

If you set the permissions on the file is set such that only you can read it, then I think it would be secure.

Why not chmod 700 secured.sh ?

If this is not what you are looking for, let us know.

Thanks for reply
I want to convert it into binary executable file so that even I can't see the contents with ease. Although I tried to convert the file as hidden file & then executed it. It worked to a extend but not completely safe.
Is there any way to see the contents of a binary executable file.

Uses a 3rd party tool.
